Danish Commercials

Below are two Danish commercials being run by TDC, the major Danish telephone company, which most people find objectionable and even the TDC people have found offensive. The characters are quite unappealing and unattractive and the dialogue is even worse, but they keep running them and putting out new ones. You decide if you want to laugh or vomit!

I have yet to meet anyone who thought these commercials where funny or appealing, but there are a few forums where people say they enjoy them. Though the vast majority of the comments are not positive.

Now here is another Danish commercial, which I have not seen in a while, but is definetly clever and funny. Some women do find it offensive, but it does have a ring of truth to it and works but ways. Could be a woman drinking the beer and eyeing the man.

The most humourous Danish commercials are unfortunately not on TV, but shown at the theaters. When you go to the movies, there are usually about 10 - 15 minutes of commericals before the film starts.

There you will see some actually amusing commercials. Why they do not show them on TV is beyond me?

If you would like to see the Danish Tourism Video, which caused such an uproar in Denmark, you can click on the link below:

The one above is a bit grainy, but great use of innuenendo. Still funny after all these years.

Now one below is alot funnier if you understand what the announcer is saying at the very end. "He says that life in Africa is dangerous if you can get see well. Donate your used glasses to a charity that sends glasses to Africa"

(text is translated on page, but some people did not notice it)

The one below has an adult theme, but nothing naughty is shown and it is really funny. Watch at your own peril! lol

For the past few months on Danish television there has been a lot more annoying ads. It seems like the Danish advertising agencies think that idiotic personalities with bad teeth will make you buy from them.

Waoo has an irritating ad with 1 guy playing 3 characters that are each dumber than the other and after watching them you want to do business with the company. No thank you, prefer a company with a bit of respectability.

Punkt an appliance company has one with a guy who switches between an annoying male voice to a screeching female voice. Schizo personality or just plain stupid. Stupid without a doubt and again another company I will avoid doing business with.

L'easy an appliance store who prides themselves on rent to own deals has a couple where the man yells at his wife for his idiotic behavior and treats her like a slave. With that kind of mentality, who would want to patronize their business. Again- not me.

It is not that I do not have a sense of humor, but these commercials are so over the top STUPID, that you have to be an idiot to give your business to them. There are better places to shop. When will Denmark TV start putting some decent commercials together. My god, I could create better copy than these people.

You would think that these commercials are made by children, but that would be insulting to say children could come up with something this bad.
